Deer Hunting, Mom style.

Well I think I'm all ready, I have my blaze orange, my ammo, stand is ready, I've printed out my topical maps, today I went and got my tags.   I am set!  This is my 2nd year attempting to get a deer. Last year didn't pan out so well, my motherly duties took over for the majority of the gun season.  Sick kids, what can I say.  This year I prepared... we got the dreaded flu shots.  This is the first year I have allowed my children to get the flu shot.  I am terrified that I made the wrong decision.  So far they are all healthy.... knock on wood.  I only got them the shot because it has Noro virus, H1N1, and one other bad flu bug immunity in it.  I figured this time it would be worth the try.  Healthy kids for deer hunting season, please Lord watch over my babies, keep them safe, healthy and happy.  Oh and Jesus, if its not too much to ask for, can I get my Buck on opening morning? :) In your mercy I pray, Amen.

Let It Snow!

I woke up this morning with a start, my first coherent thought was "Did it snow"?  I rolled over my hubby so I could see out the window, "Sweetie look it snowed!" I squealed with delight!  "Yes, I know." he sounded irritated but he still smiled at me.  Guess he was waiting for me to notice.   The kids also noticed when they got up, our youngest came running into the room squealing about the snow, proceeds to jump on our bed and points to the window to show her proof! She must take after me!  She is a perfect snow enthusiast, I couldn't have done better if I tried. :)  I sent my kids out to make a snowman, they didn't do half bad if you ask me.  And they used a doughnut for the mouth and Trix for eyes.  How creative, I used sticks and rocks.

Our First Snowman of The Year!

Nope I couldn't be happier than I was this morning.  Thank you God for such a great morning.  I enjoyed my family and the snow!



Its the beginning of November and their is only one thing I'm thinking about and it is not politics! Although I am happy to report that the phone has not rang yet tonight. :) Thank God elections are over.  I am thinking about hunting season.  Last year was my first year out and I am excited to try again this year.  I'm hoping that not smelling like a cigarette will help me get my deer.  I'm not to confident in that thought  I know many smokers who bag deer while smoking in the woods.  I have read articles about deer hunting and I am also thinking it takes luck and well prepared hunting grounds.  This hunter is trying to get all of her "ducks in a row", and be ready for opening day. :)
